How long does chicken last once defrosted?

[Broken11Girl]

Chicken put in fridge to defrost on Thursday night.
In original packaging, opened as I took out the rest of the chicken to cook but didn't need whole pack. Immediately put in freezer bag and in freezer.
Fridge is on the cold side.
Can I cook it now? Or will I die/ wish I would die?

I thought is was 24 hours after defrosting. Does it smell ok? Cook it into oblivion if you're going to risk it. I don't think I'd do much after 24hrs though once originally defrosted.

Thanks. I did it. Could find answers from 1 to 5 days online. It was nicely brown.
Smelled and tasted ok, still alive and stomach feels fine so far

No, you must never re freeze without cooking first.

Cook within 24 hrs of de frosting.

Bin it!

Too late It wasn't re-frozen.

Bloody hell that's 4 days after getting out the freezer, eek!

Glad all was well. I've had chicken before, in date but slight smell of vinegar, all was ok but I wouldn't recommend it.
